Wayne Rooney dominated headlines in the United States this past week with his possible move to MLS. But the likelihood of him actually signing with D.C. United has been just as much a topic of conversation as the confirmation that the English football star had moved closer to a deal with D.C..

In a news conference Friday, Everton manager Sam Allardyce said Rooney, Everton’s leading scorer, had not asked to leave.

“And neither has Wayne Rooney had a confrontation with me,” Allardyce said. “We’ve not been in any difficult situations because we’re two adults and we talk.”

D.C. United fell to a 1-5-2 record over the weekend, falling to Real Salt Lake 3-2. D.C. is in need of more scoring power after netting just 10 goals so far this season, fewer than all but two other clubs.

Orlando fans throw trash at Atlanta United

Orlando City fans decided boos weren’t enough in the last minutes of Atlanta’s 2-1 win over their team Saturday, and they took to throwing trash onto the field.

It started in stoppage time when Orlando City midfielder Will Johnson went down in the box as Atlanta defender Leandro González Pirez made a slide tackle in his vicinity. The referee wasn’t buying Johnson’s dive, but the Orlando City fans were sold.

After the no-call, the supporters section began throwing cups, cans and water bottles onto the field, and they continued after the final whistle sounded.
